The scientific and technological civilization of mankind can reach such a height, which is inseparable from the research results of scientists. We all know that the cost of scientific research is very high, and the cost of a project can be reduced by tens of millions. In our opinion, scientific research has such a high cost, and the research results should be very precious. However, most of the research results of scientists are published for free in the form of papers in scientific magazines. Compared with the high cost, is this a bit of a disadvantage? What's up?
Science has no borders
In fact, science has no borders. The development of human science and technology relies on the joint efforts of all scientists. Unlike technology, technology is protected by patents. , a country’s scientific and technological strength also represents their comprehensive national strength. Science exists for the development of world civilization, so there is no such thing as national boundaries. The development of science does not happen overnight. It requires the collective wisdom of all mankind. If a scientific research result is published in an international magazine, it also means a collision of ideas, and the results may be twice the result with half the effort.
The collision of ideas among scientists
Although most people can read these scientific magazines for free, there are still a few people who really have the right to speak. They are scientists from all over the world. . The invention of a research result does not mean that the research result is 100% correct. When the research result is published in a magazine, all scientists will share the research result, and some scientists will even discover some A unique theory can ensure that there will be no major mistakes in the scientific research direction, and it may also bring unexpected development to the research results.
Scientists need scientists to communicate
Therefore, some people believe that the process of publishing scientific research results is actually a process of academic communication. Such a vigorous development of human science is not caused by one or two scientists, but by scientists from all over the world uniting to jointly promote the progress of science. Newton and Leibniz once had a dispute over the right to invent calculus. The actions of the two scientists directly led to the separation of the British and European mathematical circles. Such information occlusion directly caused the UK's status in the mathematical community to plummet. France has become the biggest beneficiary of the mathematics community.
Academic papers mean patent protection
So, publishing academic papers is not only for the development of scientific undertakings, but also to protect the fruits of one's own labor. Only by publishing these scientific research results in papers can your patent be protected and your scientific contribution be recognized by the world. Therefore, the publication of scientific research results also represents mankind’s confidence and determination in intellectual property protection.
We often say that science has no national boundaries, and this is the truth. Science does not belong exclusively to a certain person or a certain country. Its development is the crystallization of the wisdom of all mankind. Only the unity and cooperation of the whole world can promote the re-establishment of milestones in scientific and technological civilization. What do you want to say about this view?
